Career Development

The ultimate goal of this cycle, of course, is a new career development and salary framework based on the achievement of required competencies and successful continuing professional development. As a result of negotiations between the Ministry of National Education and the Ministry of Administrative Reform, a new career framework was agreed on and formalized in Regulation 16/2009. This regulation clusters the many salary increments defined for the Indonesian civil service into four major career levels (five levels with the inclusion of teacher induction). This is a particularly significant reform because the teacher-specific framework it adopts differs from the overall civil service pay scale.

Policy makers have agreed that at each annual teacher performance appraisal, a total credit-point score will be calculated for each teacher. The score achieved will vary according to how well a teacher performs on each dimension of the instrument. Every two years, a teacher will have these scores matched against the salary scale and a decision made about progression to the next increment. In the final step of implementation of this project, principals will be able to enter the scores by computer and transfer the data to the district level.

The performance appraisal instrument will refer to the professional development activities undertaken by the teacher. Many professional development modules have already been developed. Others will be prepared. A framework is being developed to incorporate all these modules and to ensure they are graded according to the types of professional development required at different levels of a teacher’s career. The various themes for training are as follows:

• Induction: Beginning teachers who need support from developed modules

• Novice Teacher (Guru Pertama): Teachers just starting out who need material to focus on competency development

• Junior Teacher (Guru Muda): More experienced teachers seeking material to focus on improvements in student performance and school management

• Senior Teacher (Guru Madya): Associate teachers needing material to focus on the development of the school

• Master Teacher (Guru Utama): Senior teachers needing material on school leadership and teacher development
